Fayemi, who stated this when he paid a condolence visit to the Olumilua family in Ikere Ekiti, said himself and his Ondo counterpart, Olurotimi Akeredolu, had commenced discussion on how best to honour the deceased and give him a memorable burial without breaching the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) protocols. Governments of the two states, he disclosed, would discuss with the family of the late former governor and agree on the burial arrangements. According to Fayemi, Olumilua, who governed Ondo and Ekiti states between 1992 and 1993, spent 80 glorious years full of sacrificial services and commitment to his country and the world before he breathed his last. The governor was received by the eldest son of the deceased and Ekiti State Commissioner for Information and Values Orientation, Olumuyiwa Olumilua; the two bereaved wives, Bolatito and Oluwayimika; family members and other sympathisers. He thanked the governor for finding time to commiserate with the family.
